La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, is a coastal gem where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez. Often overshadowed by flashier resort towns like Cabo San Lucas, La Paz offers a more authentic and laid-back Mexican experience. The true magic of this region, however, lies not just in its vibrant malecón or world-class diving, but in its stunning collection of beaches. From bustling stretches of sand with palapas and ceviche stands to isolated coves accessible only by boat, the coastline here is remarkably diverse.
The geography of La Paz creates a unique environment for beachgoers. The bay itself is protected, resulting in calm, shallow, and often bath-warm waters that are perfect for families and swimmers. Venture outside the bay, and you will find dramatic landscapes where volcanic rock formations jut out of turquoise water. Because the landscape is a desert, the contrast between the arid terrain and the vibrant blue ocean is visually striking, offering a beach day unlike any other in Mexico.
Understanding the local ecosystem is key to appreciating these beaches. The Sea of Cortez, famously dubbed "the world’s aquarium" by Jacques Cousteau, is teeming with life. Snorkeling from the shore can reveal pufferfish, rays, and colorful reef fish. It is also important to note that many of the beaches surrounding La Paz are federally protected due to their role as nesting grounds for sea turtles or as habitats for endemic species, so visitors should practice responsible tourism.
Accessibility varies greatly depending on which beach you choose. Some of the most popular spots, like those near the malecón, are easily walkable from downtown hotels. Others require a short drive, a hike, or a boat ride from the marina. Whether you are a solo traveler looking for a quiet spot to read or an adventurer seeking underwater thrills, there is a stretch of sand with your name on it.
To help you plan your perfect itinerary, we have curated a list of the absolute best beaches in the area. This guide focuses on practical details, including how to get there, what amenities are available, and what type of traveler each spot is best suited for. We prioritize safety, environmental preservation, and the overall quality of the experience.
Here are the top coastal destinations you should not miss when visiting this Baja paradise.

One of the most beautiful beaches I've been to! We got our entry ticket online for our time slot and came in to check it out, and I was still surprised by how stunning it actually is. The water is crystal clear, making it easy to see everything in it, and it stays incredibly shallow for quite a ways out, which is perfect for wading. The beach itself was super calm with no waves, and the fine sand and surrounding views are amazing. Just a heads up for future visitors: remember to bring your own snacks and drinks since there are no vendors on the sand. I'd say this is one of my favorite beaches, if not my absolute favorite!
We came here with a tour and spent two hours at the beach. Definitely go climb up the hills and have the best views. Clear water where you can see all the fish.
We had an amazing experience at Playa Balandra.
Important tip: you must purchase your entry ticket (digital bracelet) in advance through the official CONANP website—it’s required to access the beach. The process was easy and made everything very organized.
We arrived around 1:00 PM and were already settled by 1:15—super efficient. The controlled entry system really helps keep the beach peaceful and uncrowded.
The area is absolutely stunning—calm, pristine, and incredibly well preserved. You can truly feel that it’s a protected natural reserve. There’s a visible presence of authorities, which makes everything feel safe and well managed. Everyone follows the rules, and the beach stays clean and serene.
The water is crystal clear and shallow, almost like a natural pool—honestly one of the most magical beaches we’ve visited.
Parking was accessible, and there are restrooms available, which is always a plus.
Overall, a perfect experience. If you’re visiting La Paz, this is a must—but plan ahead and get your bracelet! 🌊✨
Absolutely STUNNING bay. We visited it in July and it was Hot but absolutely beautiful! The water was so smooth. The sand was fine and soft. It is very shallow making it a great place for kids. Where we were did not have any facilities. We took an excursion that ended at the space so we did not have to purchase any additional ticket.
Really interesting place to check out. The water is exceedingly shallow for quite a ways out, which allows you to see crabs and fish easily. There were plenty of people lounging in the water and along the shore.
Important to note: they recently added an entrance fee that must be paid online. There is no service within 15/20 mins of the entrance so make sure you buy tickets ahead of time (unlike me and my friends). They also have a cap on the number of people who can enter in the morning and then in the afternoon. They also require everyone to leave their morning or afternoon sessions at a set time, and blast a loud horn to signal it’s time to go.
Glad we took the time to visit!

Clean beach with showers and bathrooms. Well maintained. Water is very clear and you can see lots of fish. Bring snorkel gear or tent onsite. Worth visiting
Worst beach I've visited in this stunning region. Loud, a lot of tourists and tourist traps. Crowded, and the sand is a bit rocky compared to other beache's white fine sand. But it's easy to reach, and closest beach to La Paz center. Also has a free public toilet. Good beach choice if you don't have a lot of time, we went on the day we had our plane.
Nice beach close to town. There’s public restrooms and a small seafood restaurant. There’s a scenic overlook where you can get great ocean views.
This beach has free parking, showers (with signs that say using shampoo/soap is prohibited), and bathrooms. There’s a long pier where you can walk and take pictures. I see where people say there are 2 zip lines but I didn’t see any staff or signs for it (I went on a Monday at 10am) so maybe they’re closed Monday’s. I would have sat at the beach in the shade (there were also chairs/tables for rent), but I saw a lot of ants in the sand so I decided against it.
I’m not a beach person but between all the stairs/ramps/pier/restaurants there was a lot to walk around and explore. There’s also a bike path and sidewalk that goes along the road/rock wall that was shaded for part of the morning. There’s benches to sit on along the way too.
Solid beach on the edge of town that somehow works for both family vibes and cracking beers with the bros. Plenty of free palapas to claim, or you can spring for an umbrella setup with chairs and a table. Food is available too—take the short walk up to the restaurants or kick back and let table-side service come to you.
The only buzzkill? Shards of broken glass in the sand. I didn’t hit anything sharp, but bottles on the beach are a trash move—stick to cans. If people showed this place a little more respect, it’d easily be a 5-star recommendation. As it stands, the vibe is there, the setup is there, but the glass is a safety hazard.

If this is your first beach trip ever, yeah, it might feel like five stars. But I’ve logged plenty of sand time, and this one’s barely a three. Sure, it’s pretty and low-key, but the water is murky with algae and gives off “do I really wanna swim in this?” vibes. I’d love to bump it higher, but with way better beaches just minutes away, this spot is strictly a backup plan. Pretty view, gross water, and not worth a return trip.
SETTING: I strongly recommend that anyone going to Baja Sur bring their own parasol, because beach clubs or random beach restaurants/bars can charge you A LOT just to have some shade. In this case, they charged us $500.00 MXN (too much), which supposedly included bathroom services, but they charged that service separately; they had dog poop under some palapas, which they showed no intention to remove after telling them twice because we had a baby walking around, and most importantly, they gave us a rude and careless attitude when discussing the price they were charging and their lack of full services. Therefore, if you cannot bring your own parasol, given the thoughtless and reckless attitudes of the restaurant/bar staff towards tourists and simply people trying to have a good time with their loved ones at the beach, I strongly suggest skipping Playa el Tesoro.
BEACH: The beach is too close to the highway, so it can get noisy and disrupt the serene landscape. However, if you would like to do some kayaking as we did and escape the crowds in Balandra (despite booking in advance and having the 450-person limit, there were still too many people for us), this is an okay choice. The water level, temperature and colours were good for us in mid-May.
We came in late October, around 10am. There was no one 🙂
Good: water is clear and shallow for a bath. Bad: The road is very close so it can get noisy from the trucks.
Ugly: $500 pesos for a sun bed and umbrella.
You can always stay on the beach side on your own if you have your own cooler and umbrella.
Really nice private-like laguna. A bit of noise from the road behind, but not too bad. Can rent there small canoes 🛶 for 10 peso pp.
The restaurant has really nice food, great guacamole and fish Tacos, selection of the best Mexican beers.
A beautiful beach on the way to Playa Balandra and Tecolote but worth a visit on it's own. Great staff, delicious food and drinks and beautiful water. Highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous beach. We stopped here for a 2 hour swim/lunch as part of an Isla Espiritu Santo boat tour. Even though Playa Balandra on the mainland is also beautiful we felt this one was better!
Being an explorer in searching for good diving, snorkeling, and natural sceneries, we bit the tourist trap by purchasing the tour. The water is not as clear as Hawaii, or some part of Cancun. Even around the coves where they are sheltered from the coastal winds, when water is as calm as a lake with gentle winds brushing the surface, the water is murky. The visibility is less than 4 meters from the surface. We can barely see corrals beneath the water at 4 meters below, and the bottom estimated to be 10 meters. We have to swim in water depths of 1 meters around coarse sands to see small fishes no larger than three fingers. Any deeper, you can't even see the bottom clearly. Larger fishes the size of your two hands couldn't be seen around August. Make sure to visit during peak periods around December to March. It will be very crowded. Not sure how the turbidity conditions be with that much movements.
Nice place to chill after sea lions diving! Must stop for a quick visit (stayed there around 1 1/2 hours) and the views are spectacular. Believe you should book a ride to take you there, as it does not have direct access from the Espirito Santo Island
Stopped here for lunch and a swim on a boat tour.
La Paz is located on the Baja California peninsula on the Bay of La Paz, 210 kilometres (130 mi) south of Ciudad Constitución,
municipality of Comondú, and 202 kilometres (126 mi) north of Cabo San Lucas, municipality of Los Cabos.
It is located 81 kilometres (50 mi) north of the town of Todos Santos. Its geographical coordinates are 24°08′32″ N and parallel 110°18′39″W, it has an
altitude of 0 to 27 meters above the sea level. It is one of the three state capitals of Mexico that are on the coast of the sea.La Paz has a subtropical desert climate (BWh).
The climate of La Paz is relatively consistent with generally little rainfall, with a year around average temperature of between 17 and 30 °C (63 and 86 °F).
Summer months (July–September) typically see highs between 34 and 36 °C (93 and 97 °F) and dew points of 21–23 °C (70–73 °F).
[8] The winter months (December–February) are the coldest with temperatures dropping below 15 °C (59 °F) at night, but cold mostly are from 20 to 25 °C (68 to 77 °F).
Breezes from Bahía de La Paz moderate the temperature. The bay also acts as a barrier against seasonal storms in the Gulf of California.
Rainfall is minimal at most times of year, although erratic downpours can bring heavy rains. Rain tends to be concentrated in a short, slightly rainier
season that peaks in August and September, following the pattern of the North American Monsoon. The driest season,
where it is common to have no rain, occurs March through June. La Paz averages over 300 days of sunshine annually and an average of 3148 sunshine hours.
During the summer the cooling Coromuel winds, a weather phenomenon unique to the La Paz area, blow during the night from the Pacific over the Peninsula and into the Bay of La Paz.
As with most of the Gulf of California, the temperature of the water changes substantially
over the course of the year, with temperatures around 68 °F (20 °C) during winter and around 85 °F (29 °C) during summer

Great Playa with plenty of small beachside restaurants offering fresh seafood, cold drinks, and that laid-back Baja vibe. 🌊🍤🍹It’s a great spot to hang out with family and spend the day enjoying the beautiful blue waters of Baja. This isn’t a private or secluded beach, so it can get busy, but that’s also part of the charm.
The upside is that you can easily rent umbrellas and chairs for about $300 pesos grab some food and drinks, and settle in for a relaxing beach day without having to bring everything yourself.
We did most of the beaches around La Paz in March. El Tecolote was one of our favourites. The water is absolutely amazing. Not crowded. Very chill. There are a few restaurants to sit at and soak up the scenery. It's very easy to get here from La Paz on the Playa Bus....about 40 minutes.
One of the best beaches I have ever been to. Fun music. Amazing food. Great waitstaff. Clean bathrooms. So many things to do.
I spent a few days in La Paz and this was one of my favorite beaches to go to every day. I recommend getting there early to avoid crowds and pick your favorite spot.
The water is pretty clean, the sand is nice and warm and it’s the best alternative to Balandra Beach. (where you can avoid in line and paying to get in) you may find a couple of bands that play at the beach, but I believe this is only on the Weekends. There’s plenty of free parking. And you can go to the restaurants to use the bathroom.
Very clean Beautiful long beach, open access. cool turquoise waters. Though a bit far from town & no mobile network. If you don't have own car, best to keep cab waiting. From Marriott Courtyard hotel, taxi charged 800 Pesos with 2 hrs wait. Plenty restaurants available but not opened in morning time. Couldn't find open washroom, as they were locked by restaurants.

Perfect putting, especially with the family! If you have small children the harbor is shallow and you can easily play with the kids! Soft sand and umbrellas make it a nice time! Bring a cooler and drinks to hang out, the other beach is about 5 minutes away that does have a restaurant but Balandra is nicer to walk around and see the mushroom rock!
It was an amazing experience, so beautiful place. You can access at 8 am and 12 pm and there's a limit, so arrive early.
There's no cost, there's parking lot, and it's so calm. Water however is cold even if the sun is burning up. You definitely need to go if you're in La Paz.
One of they most beautiful beaches I've ever seen! They have nice umbrellas set up for sugar all along the shore and the water is shallow and warm. Nice areas to explore around there.
The limit the number of car to enter so make sure to arrive early Mx you can swim, walk in the water. Have a nice easy hike for incredible views!
We feel in love with this beautiful crystal clear beach!! We felt as if we were in this enormous pool. We will definitely be back soon. I do recommend you arrive early to get a palapa, or you could rent an umbrella. Pack in and pack out, they have no trash cans so please take all your trash with you. Enjoy it's beautiful.

It’s a nice spot for a family or couple photoshoot if you’re looking for a location close to the city. It has a parking lot, washrooms, and security at the entrance. The beach is open from 8am-6pm, though hours may vary. Be sure to bring a chair, umbrella, drinks, and snacks, as there are no rentals or stores nearby. However, if you’re willing to go a bit further, there are plenty of other beaches that are even more beautiful.🌊✨⛱️🍸🥨🍏
Tucked on the edge of town, this beach is a low-key gem with a handful of palapas, calm shallow water, and a jetty that’s perfect for casting a line. Families will love it—safe for kids to splash around without worry. Bring your own snacks and drinks, but don’t stress if you forget; you might catch a vendor strolling by with fresh fruit or ice cream. Parking is a breeze with a decent-sized lot right at the entrance, and best of all, it’s free. A solid spot for a quick, no-hassle beach day—without battling the long lines at Balandra.
Small beach but not crowded. Beautiful water and sand. Calm. Free public spots that give you some shadow.
One of my favorite beaches in La Paz. Just lovely and beautiful. Plenty of free parking.
Great public beach that's pretty close to La Paz. If you have a car, there is free parking there. However, it's a small lot and can become full. There are restrooms on site, but they are a long walk from the beach near the roadway in the parking lot.

Beautiful beach with soft sand. Great views looking back at la ventana. Cool place to check out!
Quiet beach, too rough to swim, amazing shells
Beautiful beach and light house, Salinas close by
If you camp there it’s better towards the point past the lighthouse. If you don’t have a 4x4 don’t drive out there the sand softens. Don’t camp near the lighthouse, I’ll add a photo but this year the property owners added security cameras with motion detection and monitor the exterior perimeter of the property line so when people visit the lighthouse or are near it sets off the alarm. All the night alarm triggers from false positives and we had to move locations as a result.
It’s very quiet, tranquil, clear water, and spacious for families and dogs to enjoy time together. I did some surf fishing and caught a few cochitos and threw back marciales. It’s not the windy season so it wasn’t too crazy. Fires were easy to start and cooking over open flame was easy. It’s definitely worth the trip for a night or two of camping.
Probably one of the most beautiful beaches close to La Paz. Never crowded and the water is so clean. Not an easy place to find, maybe that's a good thing.

A beautiful beach. They have a beach club Jardin Escondido there where you can get a day pass for 500 MXN per person which you receive back as food credit. We ordered a fruit salad to take away which was great. The water is Cristal clear.
Non-guests can visit with a minimum spend of 500 peso per person. They include towels for the day.
5/5 on beauty. Refreshing pool, garden and beach. (not their fault but sooooooo many flies around us.)
3/5 Food and drinks. The kitchen and bar had many things that were unavailable from their menu. Parts of our meal were forgotten and was awkward for us as one person ate without the other. Also the drinks were slow
2/5 service was actually bad, and I mean for La Paz standards. I've been here 3 months and these guys just didn't have it together. Not busy and still hard to get our server's attention, items forgotten and lack of professionalism. We could even hear staff talking about us to each other
Quote small but nice beach not too far from downtown. Lot of sharp rocks in the water, bring water proof footwear.
There is a huge parking lot across the street and a public bathroom available in the resort's restaurant.
This is an ok beach. There are many nicer beaches nearby. It’s pretty rocky in the water so a bit tricky for swimming. Unfortunately many of the locals tend to have a habit of leaving their garbage and empties on the beach at the end of the day.
A great place to walk, exercise, and relax. Also a great relaxed smaller beach for your 4 legged family and a dog park close by plus dog's allowed at see side restaurant which has excellent food tho I would ask for a better beach If I was to given the highest rating of a 5⭐. Definitely worth enjoying for closeness to La Paz and a cleaner type small beach w experience of dog's.

A beautiful and lively place with plenty of fun things to do. It's easy to find parking, and there are many places to eat and have a drink. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back!
Why to wait for heaven if you have la Paz Mexico? Clear water, excellent food (and Ice cream), beautiful places to visit., etc. the pictures can not tell you how amazing this place is. Highly recommended for your vacations and yes, bring your little ones. It's a kids friendly place 🙂
What am amazing place. It's full of such amazing views and the culture is so nice.
Greatest Sunset I've ever had the privilege of seeing ..
Exceptional spot to see the sunset and take walks, so peaceful and relaxing. Very nice to end the day.
Malecón de La Paz is one of the nicest waterfront spots in the city and a great place to walk, relax, or just enjoy the view of the sea. The whole area feels open and calm, especially in the late afternoon when the weather cools down and the sunset starts to set in.
The walkway is long and well-maintained, with plenty of space for walking, jogging, or just sitting by the water. Along the way, there are sculptures, benches, and open viewpoints that make it a good spot for photos or just taking a break. It also has a relaxed, local vibe rather than feeling overly touristy in most areas.
One of the best parts is the view of the ocean—it’s wide, peaceful, and especially beautiful during sunset. You’ll often see people cycling, skating, or just hanging out with friends and family, which gives it a lively but still chill atmosphere.
There are also nearby restaurants and small shops, so it’s easy to turn a simple walk into a full outing. The main downside is that it can get quite hot during the day, and there isn’t always a lot of shade.
Overall, the Malecón de La Paz is a must-visit if you’re in the area, offering a great mix of scenery, relaxation, and local life.

Ok for a quick walk with your dog. Locals mentioned that a lot of dog owners do that in the morning. Definitely not for swimming. Sights of abandoned buildings are not great. Would only visit if there is nothing else to do.
Great beach to let your four footed family member play w others and as well very romantic and relaxing feel after sunset.
Check it out w your furry friend.🐕🦺
Enjoy the sunsets
Agradable lugar buenos atardeceres, clima muy cambiante,.. tambien se realizan eventos
It's an excellent place for a run while admiring the seascape, especially at sunrise and sunset; very peaceful and easily accessible.

Love this beach, I drive my scooter and it does ok. The beach es calma, tranquilidad , y muy bonita
Not so crowded beach. Just past Tecolote beach.
Beautiful and friendly
The beach is beautiful! I love it!
It's a very beautiful place but full of trash, you can even find clothes lying around. It's sad that not everyone has the habit of taking their trash with them and it affects the beautiful view.
Essential Tips for Visiting La Paz Beaches
To make the most of your coastal adventures in Baja California Sur, a little preparation goes a long way. The environment here is fragile, the sun is intense, and the logistics can be tricky if you are unfamiliar with the area. By following these guidelines, you can ensure your trip is safe, enjoyable, and respectful to the local community and wildlife.
Rent a car for flexibility. While the beaches in the center of La Paz are walkable, the true highlights like Balandra and Tecolote require transportation. Having your own vehicle allows you to arrive early to secure parking and explore at your own pace without relying on tour schedules.
Arrive early to beat the crowds and the heat. The midday sun in Baja can be brutal, especially between June and September. Popular spots like Balandra have limited parking and occasionally close to newcomers once capacity is reached. Aim to arrive by 9:00 AM to secure a spot and enjoy the calmest water.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen. The chemical oxybenzone found in many sunscreens is damaging to the coral and marine life in the Sea of Cortez. Use mineral-based, biodegradable sunscreen to protect your skin without harming the ecosystem. Wearing a rash guard is an even better alternative for snorkeling.
Bring cash for palapas and rentals. While some beach restaurants accept credit cards, connectivity can be spotty and many local vendors are cash-only. You will need pesos for renting umbrellas, kayaks, or buying fresh coconuts and fish tacos from local families operating on the sand.
Leave no trace. Many of the beaches around La Paz are pristine because visitors and locals work hard to keep them that way. Bring a bag for your trash and pack out everything you bring in, including organic waste like fruit peels. Avoid touching or standing on the coral and never disturb the sea turtle nests.
The beaches of La Paz offer a rare combination of accessibility and untouched natural beauty. Whether you spend your day floating in the shallow waters of a protected bay or hiking to a hidden cove, the experience is bound to feel like a true escape from the modern world. The slower pace of life here encourages you to linger, watch the sunset, and appreciate the raw power of the desert-meets-ocean landscape.
As you plan your journey to Baja California Sur, remember that the best trips are often those that balance adventure with relaxation. By visiting these beaches with respect and curiosity, you contribute to the preservation of one of Mexico’s most spectacular coastlines for future generations to enjoy.
